After Two Die, Wisconsin’s Governor Relents, Accepts Federal Help To Quell Riots

MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers has reversed himself and is now asking the Trump administration to send federal agents to help stop the riots and violence that have engulfed Wisconsin’s fourth-largest city.

It wasn’t without begging from Kenosha County Board members and lawmakers.

“My team just got off the phone with Governor Evers who agreed to accept federal assistance,” President Trump tweeted today. “TODAY, I will be sending federal law enforcement and the National Guard to Kenosha, WI to restore LAW and ORDER!”

Lawmakers have urged the governor to stop pandering to his political left base and do more to restore order in Kenosha. They’ve been asking: Do Evers and his radical left team hate President Trump so much they are willing to watch Kenosha burn?
